Freshly confirmed segments are not offered from the TM

I noticed multiple times that when I run into very similar segments in a translation, the translation of the first one is not offered from the TM as the best match in the next one. The screenshot shows segment 447, which is confirmed and differs from the next segment 448 only in "Ib" changed to "Ic", yet Studio offers an obviously much less similar segment from the memory. Why is that? Is there a workaround? It is pretty annoying to have to check the software if it is doing its work properly. And seeing it is not, having to use copy/paste.

  • Hi ,

    Try disabling Lookahead. The problem is probably caused because Studio looks ahead a couple of segments when you are in the first one and caches the results to speed up lookup. Then when you actually go into the next segment you get the cached result and not the one that may be better based on the previous segment. You can either arrow down to the next segment and then go back up which will probably trigger the latest TM lookup, or disable Lookahead.

    It's a useful feature when using MT as you don't have to wait for the lookup on an external server, but can be a drawback when just working with your own TMs.
